September 21-27

This aircraft was one of the more successful attempts to put man into the air as it was economical to build or purchase and was easy to fly. Designed by Edward Heath, it was named the "Parasol" because of the way in which the wing is mounted. The airplane could be built by anyone with average mechanical skills. All you needed were pliers, screwdriver, hacksaw, hammer, drill, chisel, center punch, file and lots of enthusiasm. It could be purchased as a kit, less engine and propeller, for $199, or factory built for $975. Plans alone were available for five dollars. The engine is a modified Henderson motorcycle engine.

The company survives today as Heathkit producing home-built electronic equipment.
